City Of Las Vegas Offers Artist Opportunities
Downtown Civic Center Plaza Public Art Opportunity Closes Aug. 8
The city of Las Vegas invites qualified firms or individuals to submit written Statements of Qualifications for the commission of one original, site-responsive, outdoor iconic work of art to complement the new Downtown Civic Center Plaza that is currently in design. This is the first step of a two-step solicitation process. Competition is open to local, national, and international artists. The solicitation project budget is $923,000. The deadline to submit for the project is Aug. 8, 2022, at 12:30 p.m. PDT. For more information and to apply, go online.
The Downtown Civic Center Building and Plaza will encompass an entire city block bordered by Main Street, Clark Avenue, First Street and Bonneville Avenue. Sited to the south of Las Vegas City Hall, the plaza will complement City Hall and the new Municipal Courthouse, creating a complex of city facilities. The plaza will incorporate elements of the Mojave Desert and be an iconic place to gather.
The city is seeking qualified artists who have proven experience in project and engagement planning, background research, stakeholder engagement, public art, conceptual and detailed design, lighting design, site planning, and construction administration. The project aims to create a connection between Las Vegas City Hall, the Municipal Courthouse, and the new Downtown Civic Center Plaza. The goal of the public art is to create a cohesive visual representation that unites the three parcels and celebrates a new green community gathering space.
"We are so excited to see this project more forward," said Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman. "The artwork will enhance the plaza, which will be a new gathering place for residents and visitors. It will become a familiar symbol of Las Vegas, and I look forward to seeing what the artists propose."
Persons with a disability may request accommodations or assistance to participate in the solicitation process by contacting Purchasing & Contracts at 702-229-6231 or 7-1-1 (TTY). To ensure the city is able to meet your needs, please submit requests at least two business days in advance.
